Hi Guys/Gals,
If I have an multidimensional array and it has items that have the  
same name
in it, how do I get the values of each similar item?

EG:

specialservices => array(
       specialservice => array(
               serviceid => 1,
               servicename=> signature required,
               price => $4.95
       ),
       secialservice => array(
               serviceid => 15,
               servicename => return receipt,
               price => $2.30
       )
)

How do I get the prices for each? What would be the best way to do  
this?
Can I utilize the serviceid to do this somehow?
It is always going to be different per specialservice.

Something appears to be amiss, as your array couldn't contain multiple
items with the specialservice key (I'm assuming the second key
'secialservice' is just a typo), as any subsequent assignments would
overwrite the previous value.

Hi Adam,
Actually you are correct. Sorry to confuse.
Its an XML response  from the USPS api I am going through, which I am  
converting to an array.

Here is the response that I am trying to convert to a multidimensional  
array.

This is my attempt to convert. I thought of setting up a blank array  
then filling that array with the specialservice arrays

$data = strstr($result, '<?');
// echo '<!-- '. $data. ' -->'; // Uncomment to show XML in comments
$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_parser_set_option($xml_parser,XML_OPTION_TARGET_ENCODING,  
"ISO-8859-1");
xml_parse_into_struct($xml_parser, $result, $vals, $index);
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
$params = array();
$level = array();
foreach ($vals as $xml_elem) {
    if ($xml_elem['type'] == 'open') {
        if (array_key_exists('attributes',$xml_elem)) {
        	list($level[$xml_elem['level']],$extra) =  
array_values($xml_elem['attributes']);
        } else {
        	$level[$xml_elem['level']] = $xml_elem['tag'];
        }
    }
    if ($xml_elem['type'] == 'complete') {
    $start_level = 1;
    $php_stmt = '$params';
    while($start_level < $xml_elem['level']) {
        $php_stmt .= '[$level['.$start_level.']]';
        $start_level++;
    }
    $php_stmt .= '[$xml_elem[\'tag\']] = $xml_elem[\'value\'];';

    eval($php_stmt);
    }
}

... then trying to pull data from the results of the $php_stmt

$sid = array();
$numserv = count($params['RATEV4RESPONSE'][''.$p.$ack.''][$cId] 
['SPECIALSERVICES']);
if($numserv > 0) {
	foreach($params['RATEV4RESPONSE'][''.$p.$ack.''][$cId] 
['SPECIALSERVICES']['SPECIALSERVICE'] as $sp_servs) {
		$sid_val = $sp_servs['SERVICEID'];
		if(in_array($sid_val, $sid)) {
			return;
		} else {
			if($sp_servs['AVAILABLEONLINE'] == true) {
				$extracost += $sp_servs['PRICEONLINE'];
			} else {
				$extracost += $sp_servs['PRICE'];
			}
			$sid[$i] = $sid_val;
		}
	}
}

echo("<br><br>Services Array :<br>");
$num_array_items = count($sid);
for($i=0; $i < $num_array_items; $i++) {
	echo($i.". ".$sid[$i]."<br>");
}
